）自2005年以来追踪至少1亿美元的交易，数据显示中国对伊朗的累计投资为47亿美元，主要集中在能源和金属领域。相比之下，该追踪器显示中国对沙特阿拉伯的投资高达157亿美元，涵盖能源、科技、金属和娱乐等多个领域。
据国际防务的数据，伊朗现役的防空系统里并没有中国的装备：
Iran's air defense system is a hybrid network of domestically produced and imported systems, designed for layered, medium-to-long-range protection against drones, missiles, and aircraft. Key assets include the indigenously developed Bavar-373, the Russian S-300 (SA-20c), and the Mersad system, with recent upgrades focusing on countering stealth targets.
Long-Range Systems:
The Bavar-373 is Iran's primary, domestically produced long-range system (developed in 2019) designed to rival the S-300 and Patriot, capable of tracking and engaging aircraft and missiles up to 400 km away.
Imported Systems:
Iran relies heavily on the Russian-made S-300PMU-2 (SA-20c) (acquired around 2016) to protect critical infrastructure, such as nuclear sites in Isfahan and Tehran. Older, imported systems like the S-5 Gammon are also in use.
Medium/Short-Range & Domestic Systems:
The Mersad is a prominent, locally upgraded system based on the older US MIM-23 HAWK. Other,, indigenous systems include the 3rd Khordad, Tabas, and Ra'ad.
Newer Capabilities:
Recently unveiled, the Arman anti-ballistic missile system and the Azarakhsh low-altitude system are designed for faster deployment and to counter diverse, multi-target threats.
Legacy and Anti-Aircraft Guns:
The Air Defense Force utilizes a high volume of older equipment, including 23 mm and 35 mm autocannons and the Sa'ir optoelectronics-guided gun.
